Notes

[1]
The article “Critical Remarks on the National Question” was
written by Lenin in October-December 1913 and published the same year in
the Bolshevik legal journal Prosveshcheniye Nos. 10, 11 and 12.

The article was preceded by lectures on the national question which
Lenin delivered in a number of Swiss cities—Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne and
Berne—in the summer of 1913.

In the autumn of 1913 Lenin made a report on the national question at
the “August” (“Summer”) Conference of the Central Committee of the
R.S.D.L.P. with Party workers. A resolution on the report drafted by Lenin
was adopted. After the Conference Lenin started work on his article
“Critical Remarks on the National Question”.
